I honestly don't remember. I'm pretty sure I picked it up before the snow fell, as I stored it in my garage at the time. So I'd say definitely less than 2 months, probably around 5 weeks? I told them no rush though, not like I was going to use it again that year.

Yeah they can take there time. I'm in no rush to get it back to stare at it over winter.

Wow - another BAD bottom hit. Sorry man, esp with just having got the boat not too long ago.

I'd be raising hell about the unmarked rocks to whoever's ear you get. I've even left bumpers out on the river to mark something when I didn't have anything else to use. Worth the replacement cost in my mind to save someone else from a disaster.

If it's any consolation, my bottom hit a few years ago was in about 12ft of water too, but we never saw what we hit. A piling about a foot or two under based on all the mud and splinters that came up.

Yeah I have to figure out who to yell at but someone is getting yelled at. It's ridiuclous. The whole lake is lined with houses with boats and there are always a ton of people out on the lake so how this hasn't been marked yet is ludacris!

IT's life. I was really mad saturday but after the dust settled and I took a breathe I realized that is why I have insurance. No sense in stewing about it. Being mad won't change it.
